Apple's postponed their surveillance system for now, but no matter what changes they make, we anticipate it falling short of what their users truly deserve: freedom to control every program running on their iPhones and other devices. https://u.fsf.org/3fy
“Apple and Google agreed to demands from the Russian government to remove a strategic voting app developed by opposition leader Alexei Navalny from the iOS and Android app stores.
Apple then disabled its Private Relay feature (which enhances web browsing privacy) for users in Russia. Google also removed YouTube videos giving advice on how to vote strategically in the elections.”

We will briefly compare chat bubbles on apps like Element, FluffyChat, Nheko, #SchildiChat and Spectral #Matrix Apps.
In no particular order, web sites like OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Archive.Org, Sci-Hub, tools like I2P, Tor, IRC, GPG, OMEMO, OTR, and open and federated protocols like Jabber, Email, Diaspora and ActivityPub are the most important projects on the internet and should be protected and exalted.

To all who claim #WhatsApp was end-to-end encrypted: How do you know? There's no proof that the sender and the recipient are the only ones who can decrypt the messages. It doesn't make sense to spread myths created by the surveillance industry, namely #Facebook.
Open-source messengers on the other hand, like #Signal, @threemaapp, @matrix, @xmpp or @briar, are proven to use #E2EE thanks to their source-code being publicly available.
Miniature cabinet of curiosities project, I'm ALL DONE
Hooray! I finished a project!!
I tend to look at things I've made and fixate on the details I wish I could change, but overall I'm happy with this one
I got so hasty when I could see the finish line that I forgot to take separate photos of 2 of the things I made: on the 3rd shelf there's a mummified Egyptian cat, and on the bottom shelf there's a (real) green quartz crystal in a wrought iron holder. Everything else is detailed upthread
What is XMPP?
For friends who do not know about XMPP, it is a "choice" other than "choices" we usually chose to communicate online in the internet.
So, loosely saying there are WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Matrix, Jami and there is XMPP. It can be your next choice of communication.
Find more explanation at the official source https://xmpp.org.
You might find this post from the XMPP poll above or #XMPP hashtag at Mastodon.

Recurring offer reminder: I'll help / mentor / teach / tutor / troubleshoot with anyone who wants to learn git for basic version control, collaboration, managing personal projects, or for a day job. I'll work to connect people with mentors other than me if they prefer - no need to explain why.
Same for bash, command line tools, and so on.
I want using & contributing to FS/OSS to be easier for way more people.
